ABOUT THE TEAM
The Software Platform team builds Lattice, the foundation for everything we do as a defense technology company.

We look for self-motivated people, those who hold a higher bar for themselves than anyone else could hold for them.
ABOUT THE JOB
As a Senior Financial Analyst on the Software Platform team, you’ll partner with the Platform leadership team to own all financial aspects of the Platform. In this role, you’ll not only be the voice of financial health, you’ll also have an opportunity to influence how the Platform’s success is tracked and measured. You should be as comfortable supporting and explaining financial performance and variance analysis to cross functional teams and senior leadership as you are defining operating models that align incentives cross-company.

- Drive continuous improvement in financial reporting tools, systems and procedures
- Creatively and scrappily solve problems where there is no right or wrong answer
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

- Preferred to have DoD and/or Tech industry experience
